What difference would naming names make? These guys don't sell directly, they consign, and the auction houses protect them.

Shining a light on the people that do this sort of stuff can only be a good thing. And I suspect that anyone who knows who the card doctors are also knows which auction houses are protecting them. Shine a light and watch the cockroaches run.

Jeff,

You need evidence and once the card makes it into the holder do you really expect the grading companies to recant their assertion that the card is anything but what the flip states? For instance one of the top grading companies asked it's supporters to send in their cards for half grade point increases and offered a written guarantee the card would either get the half grade bump or be returned as it was submitted. But that top grading company is far from the only major grading company with fleas.

Jeff, it's just not worth it, they would get lawyers to represent them (if they don't have them already) and accuse me of defamation, and because it all goes on behind closed doors and because third party grading gives it a veneer of legitimatcy, I am not confident that I could prove it through admissible evidence even though I know it.
